A wealth ped­dler now top ped­aller

AS cor­po­rate cops in­ves­ti­gate her in­volve­ment in a failed wealth cre­ation busi­ness, Maighan Brown is go­ing swim­mingly well — as a triath­lete.

Ms Brown, who re­cently mar­ried Richard Marl­bor­ough’s son Braiden (see story above) af­ter a six-year en­gage­ment, com­peted in her first top-level event four weeks ago, fin­ish­ing 20th out of 24 in the Glenelg sprint triathlon Ocea­nia Cup.

“A great week­end away, rac­ing in my first ever elite triathlon race, against an in­cred­i­bly strong field,” she wrote on In­sta­gram. “Learnt a lot & now look­ing for­ward to the next!”

Her sport­ing suc­cess has come against a back­drop of le­gal bat­tles.

Emails from Ms Brown — ob­tained from the Queens­land Supreme Court — show her ve­he­mently deny­ing she was a di­rec­tor of one of the Bench­mark com­pa­nies, de­spite records show­ing she was.

In doc­u­ments filed with the court, the pro­vi­sional liq­uida­tor ac­cuses her of fail­ing to pro­vide him with “ad­e­quate as­sis­tance” in breach of the Cor­po­ra­tions Act. Ms Brown strongly de­nies the ac­cu­sa­tions against her.
